Attention moves to the capital and after the first 5 throws I was about to fail a morale check..... fortunately the He-111 saved the situation.

The final attack also looked to fail but the last throw works and the Polish HQ is disorganised.

To me this looks very nice. [;)]

Surprisingly nice actually.

The 35th Infantry Corps moves from Konigsberg to Gdynia via Danzig, overrunning the Polish navy. The destroyer flotilla is destroyed but annoyingly the convoy escapes (I put it in Liverpool with the rest of the navy).

Thank you. [:)]

Is there a penalty if German units are in Eastern Poland when the USSR declare Eastern Poland? e.g. are they disorganised and/or immediately moved?

The Germans are immediately moved.

Edit: RAC: 19.5.1 Eastern Poland
The USSR can exercise its Nazi-Soviet Pact rights to occupy eastern Poland during any Allied land
movement step. However, it can only exercise those rights if Poland has not been conquered.
You exercise those rights by moving a land unit into any hex of eastern Poland (ignore any units there).
Once you exercise those rights, the part of Poland to the east of the partition line becomes conquered by the
Soviets. Move any Axis units there to the nearest Axis controlled hex they can stack in. Any Allied (except Soviet)
units there are destroyed. They are removed from the game (internment) until Germany and the USSR are at war, at
which point they may be added to the Commonwealth force pool if the Commonwealth player so desires.
[Clarification. Polish air units and their pilots are interned if they are in eastern Poland when the USSR occupies it
- Dec. 29, 2007.]
Axis units may not cross the partition line after the USSR exercises its rights unless Germany and the USSR
are at war.
Anytime after 1941, the Commonwealth can add a randomly chosen Polish MOT and MECH to its force
pools if, at that time:
• The USSR has exercised its rights under the pact; and
• Poland has been conquered by the Axis; and
• The USSR and Germany are at war.
All the Polish units covered by this rule are treated as British for all purposes.

The Germans are unable to get to Lodz or Warsaw, but announce the following 4 attacks:

Meanwhile in China, the Japanese launch two attacks:

So, six attacks in all. The Japanese use one bomber to bring odds up to 5:1 on both:

[warspite1]

I assume the Chinese will use the Assault table for both?

The Poles have the choice in Poznan too - I mucked up again [&:]

Indeed. As will Poland, or CW, when it is their choice.

Edit: I think that there will be three times that CW will select assault in Poland.

The attack on Poznan is 7:1 no modifiers on the Assault Table....

... a 9 is thrown and the Karpaty Army is destroyed.

The second attack is against the Forest north of Katowice. This is automatic as Rundstedt makes the choice German.

The third attack is against Krakow and will be 7:1 no modifiers on the Assault table.

The throw is an 8 and the Tarnow Cavalry are destroyed.

The final attack of the German impulse is that against the Polish H.Q.

The odds are 5:1 +1 on the Assault table..

...its a 3(4). Rydz meets his maker but at the cost of 5 units disorganised - one of which is the Engineer.

Over to China and the first attack is in the mountains northeast of Pakhoi. Its a 5:1 no modifiers on the Assault table.....

....its a 6. The Kunming Militia is destroyed.

The final attack of the impulse, in the mountains northwest of Wenchow, is also 5:1 no modifiers on the Assault table.....

...its a 7 and the 2nd Cavalry is destroyed.

Frustratingly it is von Leeb I have in the north so only two infantry can be reorganised. I choose not to reorganise my bombers with the other two HQ.

Everyone stay calm! This is not happening! [;)]
